Ask HN: Are there any startups hiring developers based overseas?

There definitely are tons of startups, but yeah you'll probably need to look around a bit. We're looking to hire a developer in South Africa (Cape Town): http://www.snapbill.com/jobs/developer
If you're moving away from the US you'll see a significant drop in salary though. The market salary down here (even for top developers) is significantly lower at around $60k/year; but so are the costs of living. I live comfortably off $8500/year.

The cost of living here in Berlin is quite low too. You may have to pay a bit more taxes, but with programmers salary you live like a king (and may have a bit happier life than a king). The salary range is somewhere between 40k-70k euros/year.
I started working here in a startup and I moved from Helsinki. It was a bit hard to get the job because I didn't know anyone and any companies. It took around six months to find a great job and I had to do everything to prove my enthusiasm and skills for the employers.
I love what I do and I'm a smart programmer but when nobody knows you, be prepared to make some extra work to convince your employers.

Depends on whether you're moving from popular dev centers such as Silicon Valley or New York City, and of course it also depends on where you're moving to. My guess is wages here in Denmark should be able to match or beat US wages outside of Silicon Valley and New York City.

I'm foreigner studying in Denmark, and I'm curious, how are the dev/programmer salaries in Denmark? And if you have any knowledge, how is the marked for game development?
If you want the positions in Japan, there are a lot of candidates because we need english speaking developer/geek.
For example, these would be the famous examples including GREE and DeNA: http://www.quora.com/Are-there-any-tech-startups-in-Tokyo
The average salary probably is 4m-6m yen/year (about $7000).

I've worked in one before, but it seems so hard to find jobs like these. Or am I looking in the wrong place?
